Custom Properties in Lightweight BOMs

When you open a drawing in lightweight mode, notes and tables linked to custom properties show up-to-date values. Previously, the values did not always update if the models changed after the drawing was last saved. To achieve this new behavior, the models must be saved in SOLIDWORKS 2019 or later.

In addition, the precision and units of custom properties in lightweight drawings and assemblies are supported. Tables and notes reflect the Document Properties Units settings of the active drawing or assembly without having to resolve the components first. To achieve this new behavior, the models must be created in SOLIDWORKS 2018 or later.
